Piccadilly Western about a White man raised by Chinese people in the American West and learned kung fu. After riding the vengeance trail in the last book, he returns home, finding it burned out, his adoptive parents dead, and his fiancee missing. There's a stranger there, who claims he is to marry Sloane's fiancee, but she has been kidnapped by Mexican bandits. The two go after the fiancee.
It's not too bad, but the wisecracking protagonist gets a little old.

At first, I thought this was just going to be a retelling of book one. In that, Slone's parents were killed, and he hunted the killers down. In this, his adopted parents who took him in in book one are killed. I thought we were going down the same path. My mistake. Things take off in all sorts of directions after that.
As mentioned before. Slone's adopted family are killed by Mexican Banditos. His girl is taken away by them and he meets Billy, a Chinese man who was taken in by the dead family. They hunt through the deserts of Mexico to find her and her kidnappers, El Muerte and his vicious gang.
There are a lot of interesting and wild characters in here. There is a double-dealing aristocrat. A bone collector that gets paid by the skull. The plot takes a lot of twists and turns throughout. More than a lot of these short western books normally do. I don't know if there are any more books in this series, but the ending was left open. The only thing I see is that there is one other Slone book called "The Man with the Iron Fists" but that says #1 by Steve Lee, so........ If I ever hunt it down we shall see.
